World's Series Game 1 Victory for Taylor and Buffalo
The World's Series got off to a quiet start today, with the host Buffalo Colts taking a low-scoring 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Excellents. Buffalo left-hander Eli Taylor was marvelous at Riverside Park and was named player of the game. The Colts now hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-9 series.

Taylor earned the win, going 9 strong innings for Buffalo. The left-hander allowed just 3 hits, while striking out 8. Cincinnati hitters had little success against him.

Taylor attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Riverside Park in Buffalo. The scheduled starters for the game are Isiah Camp for the Cincinnati Excellents and Hugh West for the the Buffalo Colts.
